Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Time Immemorial

There's a time to run, a time to rest
   A time to take stock, a time to reflect
 
A time to forgive, a time to forget
   A time to beget, a time to reset

A time to surrender, a time to fold
   A time to be brave, a time to be bold

A time to speak up, a time to be still
   A Time Immemorial ~ to do His Will

Laura Leiser October 22, 2019 at 10:52 PM Amen! Your poem reminds me of Ecclesiastes, of course! Much wisdom in your words, and well written! :) Gershon Wolf October 23, 2019 at 11:07 AM Yes, you're so right, Laura: I heard the entirety of Ecclesiastes / Koheles chanted in the original Hebrew in synagogue on Saturday morning. I guess those themes are running around in my head. Thank you and cheers! ~ Gershon
